Some of the best homemade Italian food can be found right here at Dino’s. It’s hard to choose our favorite dish(es) but we do tend to go for the lasagna and shrimp fettuccine most of the time.
Atmosphere is wonderfully old school…and quiet. I can actually hear myself having a conversation with my companions…not blaring music.
The staff are friendly and attentive!

You want a real Italian experience in Memphis? Look no further! Dino’s makes you feel like you really are in Italy. The family has been here since the late 1800’s, and they bring that old world feel with southern hospitality that is so authentic. I had the Italian salad, and it just exploded with flavor. Can’t wait to come back and try their other offerings; someone next to me ordered the lasagna and it looked divine. I can’t recommend this place enough!

How much more iconic can you get than having the street where your restaurant is bear the family name. Been here many times. Thursday night is all you can eat spaghetti if you’re looking to pig out. Great real Italian food anytime. Very old school. Owner at the cash register and the wait staff are either family or adoptees. Try and leave room for desert. It will be tough. Enjoy.

This family-owned Italian gem has been a local favorite for years. It’s not trendy or flashy—just a cozy, old-school eatery with a welcoming vibe. We kicked things off with ravioli and mozzarella sticks, both classic and satisfying.
If you’re visiting on a Thursday, be prepared for a crowd—their all-you-can-eat spaghetti deal is a big draw (and they don’t take reservations that day). I went for the spaghetti with meatballs, which felt like a warm, home-cooked meal—simple, comforting, and no-frills.
For dessert, we sampled the tiramisu, cannoli, and key lime cake. They were decent but didn’t quite steal the show.

Midtown staple with classic Italian dishes. Eggplant dishes have crunch and flavor with thin crispy slices. Pasta is solid. Italian spinach is perfectly prepared. Even the burger is excellent with fresh cut fries. Ended the night with a tiramisu but had to take it home since we were so stuffed. It’s in the tops for sure. Cozy diner atmosphere and super friendly staff and owner.

Very quaint little spot. I tried the veal with stuffed ravioli, and it was okay, a bit bland but filling. I finished my plate, so the serving was adequate. My companion ordered the pizza, so I also tried it. It was pretty good. The sauce had a hint of sweetness, and the crust was perfect.
The owner was very nice. I’d recommend giving them a try.

Try their eggplant parmesan, it’s the best thing ever.
Love that simple butter white bread toast & rich savory homemade marinara.
Booth’s are crazy uncomfortable but who cares when the chicken pesto pizza has the kids gettin along for the first time all day!
Eat at Dino’s tonight.

No wait to sit down. Waiter advised find a seat and she came right on. I ordered the Italian sausage with spaghetti on the side. I thought I was getting one sausage but they gave me two. Sausages were both split and had sauce on stop. I thought they were gonna be naked but I didn’t know. Sausage was a little salty but it is an Italian sausage. Spaghetti was cooked nicely. Wished I had more. I’m gonna try the spaghetti and meatballs next time. Or a sandwich. Prices are $2 more than advertised but what hasn’t went up. Parking is scarce as well. Everyone was nice.

It was our first time and everything was good. We had Temale Slit and it was fire. We had two spaghetti dishes; Spaghetti with Meatballs, and Spaghetti with Italian Sausage. The meatball was good, soft and tasty, noodle and sauce cook perfectly. We did not really like the sausage, it was burned and salty. The place was clean and designed with old Italian style, which we enjoyed.
